The legacy of Jeep is one of getting you where you need to go no matter what the terrain. Jeep traces its roots to the battlefields of World War II, where it played a major role in helping the Allies win the war. That legacy continues today in the Jeep Wrangler, the direct descendant of the original Willys, and the popular Jeep Renegade. Compare the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Renegade to find your best-fit off-road vehicle and make the best choice for your SUV driving needs.

Passenger Space

2019 Jeep Renegade

Jeep Renegade

Both the Wrangler and the Renegade are compact sport utility vehicles that seat up to five passengers. The Renegade offers a more spacious interior, with a total passenger volume of up to 118.6 cubic feet. The Wrangler, by comparison, offers just 88.4 cubic feet of passenger space, so it will be slightly more cramped.

Cargo Volume

When it comes to cargo volume, the Wrangler emerges as king. Its 56.5 cubic feet of cargo volume with the back seats folded down outshines the Renegade by nearly 6 feet. When you fold down all the seats in the Renegade, you’ll get 50.8 cubic feet of cargo volume — still respectable, but not as much as the Wrangler.  Read the rest of this entry »
